Windows 10: People App

OneSyncSvc doesn't exists in the service list. Instead I see OneSyncSvc_2d075e running as a service.
(can't change no properties, can't even stop the service)
I wonder if that is correct as I have the following problem:
When I try to add an mail account in the People App I get the following error:

something went wrong
error code 0x80004005

after searching for days on the Internet I am at wit's end

My O.S. is Windows 10 HomeEdition 20H2

I would appreciate it If anyone could point me in the right direction as to the solution of my problem.

Issue with People app


I'm running a clean install of Win 10, less than a week old, and I'm seeing some odd behaviour with the People app.

When I'm in Mail, I can see a contact's details by clicking on the "Open Contact" option from within the message. This opens the People app. So far so good.

However, this seems to be the only way I can access People. There's no obvious way to access it otherwise from mail, it's not listed in "All apps": also, when the People app is open, it has no icon in the taskbar - just an empty space where the icon should be (I can grab this anti-icon and move it around the taskbar).

Any suggestions welcome...

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
